If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did

you walk?

Harman [31]3 years ago

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

A 1100 kg racing car accelerates from rest at a constant rate and covers a distance of 50 m in 5 s. what is the car's accelerati
allsm [11]

The car's acceleration, given the data from the question is 4 m/s²

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

The following data were obtained from the question:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 13 m/s
  • Distance (s) = 50 m
  • Time (t) = 5 s
  • Acceleration (a) = 9.8

<h3>How to determine the acceleration of the car</h3>

The acceleration of the car can be obtained as illustrated below:

s = ut + ½at²

50 = (0 × 5) + (½ × a × 5²)

50 = 0 + (½ × a × 25)

50 = 0 + 12.5a

50 = 12.5a

Divide both sides by 12.5

a = 50 /12.5

a = 4 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the car is 4 m/s²

How will heat flow between objects?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Question: How will heat flow between objects?

from the colder object to the warmer object

from the bottom object to the object on top

from the warmer object to the colder object

back and forth between objects of equal temperature

Answer: Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

Conduction: The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.

Convection: The movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

Radiation: The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

Damm [24]

Answer:

a) 38.27      b) 322.5°

c) 126.99    d) 1.17°

e) 62.27     e) 139.6°

Explanation:

First of all we have to convert the coordinates into rectangular coordinates, so:

a=( 43.3 , 25)

b=( -48.3 , -12.94)

c=( 35.36 , -35.36)

Now we can do the math easier (x coordinate with x coordinate, and y coordinate with y coordinate):

1.)  a+b+c=( 30.36 , -23.3) = 38.27 < 322.5°

2.)  a-b+c=( 126.96 , 2.6) = 126.99 < 1.17°

3.)  (a+b) - (c+d)=0   Solving for d:

     d=(a+b) - c = ( -40.36 , 47.42) = 62.27 < 139.6°

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

(E) Second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics can be understood according to Clausius' words: In an isolated system, no process can occur if a decrease in the total entropy of the system is associated with it. These processes are associated with energy transformations, in which a variable is introduced, called entropy that indicates the notion of disorder. Therefore, in any isolated process, the disorder can only grow.

Object 2 has more kinetic energy

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion, and it is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this problem, for object 1:

m = 2 kg

v = 2 m/s

So its kinetic energy is

K_1 = \frac{1}{2}(2)(2)^2=4 J

For object 2,

m = 4 kg

v = 3 m/s

So its kinetic energy is

K_2 = \frac{1}{2}(4)(3)^2=18 J

Therefore, object 2 has more kinetic energy.
